A study of Black, Gray, Gold and Red

Emotions are the deepest feelings that an individual can exhibit. They define who we are! They fabricate our thoughts, our actions and how we create art. In most Reggio Emilia Inspired schools, art is not just “art” but is considered as SYMBOLIC EXPRESSIONS. These symbolic expressions are called “The Hundred Languages” of children. Loris Malaguzzi explains is best in the beginning of a poem he wrote in 1998

The Hundred Languages of Children

The child is made of one hundred.The child hasa hundred languagesa hundred handsa hundred thoughtsa hundred ways of thinkingof playing, of speaking.

These pieces were made some time ago to study the composition of black, gray, gold and red. Using a combination of ribbons, beads, silk petals, pom poms, rocks, cardboard and glue, the children began their artistic journey.
